Background
-
On February 9, 2007 the subject property
was deeded to Ted D. Lee and wife Jerelene W.
Lee.
-
On May 30, 2008 Ted Lee, one of the
owners of the subject property, through his attorneys with the law firm of
Brown & Ortiz, P.C., file an application with the City of San Antonio to
have the subject property rezoned from “R-20” to “R-6”. The subject property
is comprised of two (2) parcels of land, one (1) parcel that is comprised of
four (4) vacant lots and the other parcel is one (1) lot, which is already
developed.
-
On September 9, 2008 the applicant
amended the original application to include a letter of authorization from
both owners of the subject property, Ted Lee and his wife, Jerelene Lee;
said letter was dated June 25, 2008 but not submitted to the city until
September 9th. The amendment also corrected misstatements of material fact
regarding the subject property.
-
On October 8, 2008 at the insistence of
Councilwoman Cibrian, the applicant held a neighborhood meeting with the
property owners that are within 200 feet of the subject property. All of the
neighboring property owners in attendance, without exception, were opposed
to the proposed zoning change.
-
On October 29, 2008 the applicant once
again amended the zoning application by dropping the one (1) developed lot
and requesting a zoning change for the remaining four (4) lots of “PUD R-6”
rather than the previously requested “R-6”. Additionally the applicant
requested that the case be moved forward and placed on the next available
Zoning Commission Hearing schedule.

Mission Statement
- To maintain the integrity and character of our established neighborhoods: Beverly Hills,
Dreamland Oaks, and Whispering Oaks subdivisions.
Subject Property - part of the Beverly Hills subdivision
The subject property is highlighted in blue.
11327 Dreamland is comprised of lots 1 through 4, which is 3.4320 acres.
The current zoning for Lots 1 through 4 is "R-20", which is large lot single
family residential with a lot size of at least 20,000 square feet and a maximum
density of 2 units per acre.
- Currently Ted Lee can build up to 6 homes on the subject property.
The proposed zoning change is asking for "PUD R-6", which is single family
residential with a lot size of at least 6,000 square feet and a maximum density
of 5 units per acre.
- Ted Lee is asking the city to allow him to build up to 17 homes on
the subject property.
Surface Hydrology
Elevation 2ft Contour Map
The above topographical map shows the elevation marked at 2 feet intervals.
The eastern most part of the subject property, the corner at Dreamland and
Lockhill-Selma Rd, is also the highest elevation at just over 920 feet above sea
level. The western most part of the subject property is at 898 feet above sea
level. That is a drop of over 22 feet and shows just how storm water runoff
flows onto the neighboring properties in the Beverly Hills and Whispering Oaks
subdivisions!
